Huo Shaoheng crossed his arms and stood in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside. The blue sky, white clouds, and the sun shining brightly. The world was peaceful, and the years were peaceful.
However, the turbulent waves were faintly discernible in the distance, revealing a corner of its ferocious and huge body.
Gu Yanran and Gu Nianzhi were connected because of the name Gu Xiangwen.
Perhaps Gu Nianzhi's father, Gu Xiangwen, had the same name as Gu Yanran's father, but what were the chances of that?
Less than one in ten million.
It was more likely that they were the same person, just like Yamaguchi Youko and Yamaguchi Aiko could be the same person.
If Yamaguchi Aiko hadn't appeared, Yamaguchi Youko's incident wouldn't have alerted them.
Now that Yamaguchi Aiko had appeared, it was like drawing legs on a snake, giving them another speculation.
It wasn't strange for sisters to look similar, but it was strange for them to act almost the same way.
Even identical twins would act differently, let alone two sisters of different ages.
Then what role did He Zhichu play in all of this?
He came for Gu Nianzhi, and he knew about her past, but why didn't he reveal it to her?
It was useless to interrogate He Zhichu. As a lawyer and a tenured professor at Harvard Law School, he had countless ways to not tell the truth, and they wouldn't be able to find any loopholes. Therefore, Huo Shaoheng had never thought about finding out the truth from He Zhichu's mouth.
He only believed in the truth he found out himself.
So many suspicious points intertwined in Huo Shaoheng's mind, as if they were gradually connecting into a web, but there were always key points that couldn't be connected.
Zhao Liangze hugged his laptop and typed in all sorts of commands. He launched another Trojan horse attack on the Yamaguchi-gumi's intranet in an attempt to get more information.
Yin Shixiong spun a dart in his hand, his brows furrowed as he occasionally threw it at the dart board on the wall.
Both of them looked up at Huo Shaoheng standing at the window from time to time.
His back was tall and straight like a pine tree. Just like many of his previous operations, it seemed like no problem could stump him.
He was the backbone and pillar of the Special Operations Forces, and everyone's belief.
Huo Shaoheng didn't know how long he had been standing by the window. They only noticed that the sun was gradually slanting to the west, covering the west-facing window with a layer of golden light.
After a long time, Huo Shaoheng turned around and looked at Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong. He said calmly, "Our problem is that we've never truly interacted with Yamaguchi Youko and Yamaguchi Aiko. These two people, or this person, have always been a blank slate to us."
Zhao Liangze stopped typing on the computer, and Yin Shixiong put away the darts in his hands. Both of them looked at Huo Shaoheng nervously and asked in unison, "Mr. Huo, you want to investigate these two again?"
"No." Huo Shaoheng walked over from the window and said in a low voice, "We want to investigate her true identity."
"True identity?!"
"Yes, since both Yamaguchi Youko and Yamaguchi Aiko 'did not find this person', then we have reason to believe that these two names are just a cover. Her real identity is someone else." Huo Shaoheng returned to his desk and propped both hands on it. He looked up at his two personal secretaries.
Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong looked at each other and suddenly felt enlightened.
"And her target is actually Nianzhi, so we don't have to be led by the nose by her." Huo Shaoheng's gaze returned to the computer screen on his desk. He took the mouse and opened a few programs. "Inform the South Americans to continue the operation. This time, focus on investigating Gu Yanran. We can put He Zhichu's matter aside for now. "
Since they had already found Gu Yanran's father, Gu Xiangwen, they should continue investigating from there.
Anyway, the original intention of investigating He Zhichu was to find out about Gu Nianzhi's background.
"Big Xiong, go get the DNA evidence from Gu Yanran again. This time, you have to do it yourself." Huo Shaoheng ordered Yin Shixiong.
"Yes, Chief!" Yin Shixiong immediately turned and left Huo Shaoheng's office to find Gu Yanran and get her DNA evidence.
"Little Ze, you don't have to continue probing the Yamaguchi-gumi's intranet." Huo Shaoheng was silent for a long time before saying, "… Send a letter directly to the Yamaguchi-gumi and ask about Yamaguchi Youko and Yamaguchi Aiko, especially about Yamaguchi Youko's car accident."
"Send a letter directly?" Zhao Liangze's eyes widened. "But, but … that's against the rules. How are we supposed to send them a letter?"
"Get the Hua Xia Imperial Consulate General in Japan to step in. The Yamaguchi-gumi now advertises themselves as doing legitimate business. They're already clean, even though they're still dirty to the bone … "Huo Shaoheng's lips curled into a mocking smile." So send an official letter to ask about it officially. "
"Yes, Chief!" Zhao Liangze quickly returned to his office and began contacting the Hua Xia Imperial Consulate General in Japan.
He had yet to contact the person from the Consulate General in Japan when Yin Shixiong pushed open the door and walked in with a strange expression on his face.
"Huo Shao, I just found out that Gu Yanran returned to Barbados. Her private plane took off four hours ago and has long since left the national border. " Yin Shixiong placed the airport information in front of Huo Shaoheng. "Look at this time. It's when Prime Minister Dou and his people got into an accident. They were all at the Imperial Capital Airport at the time! "
"What a coincidence!" Zhao Liangze also walked over and looked at the information Yin Shixiong had found. "What should we do?"
"Find out who the people she randomly brought with her were. I want detailed information." Huo Shaoheng ordered Zhao Liangze to contact the General Administration of Customs to obtain Gu Yanran's exit documents and security records.
Ten minutes later, the relevant departments of the General Administration of Customs found Gu Yanran's exit records and sent them to the Special Operations Forces' special email.
Zhao Liangze printed out the information of everyone who followed Gu Yanran out of the country and sent it to Huo Shaoheng's desk, including their photos.
"There were five people who followed Gu Yanran out of the country. Two housekeepers, one man and one woman, and three bodyguards, all men." Zhao Liangze placed the documents in front of Huo Shaoheng. "These are their photos and photocopies of their passports."
Huo Shaoheng flipped through them one by one, his eyes finally landing on the photo of Gu Yanran's middle-aged housekeeper.
He picked out the photo and pushed it in front of Zhao Liangze. "Do a digital analysis and remove her black-rimmed glasses to see who it is."
Zhao Liangze quickly transcoded the photo and entered it into his analysis program.
However, the other party was obviously well-prepared. After a careful digital analysis, the middle-aged woman who appeared in front of them was someone they had never seen before. It wasn't Yamaguchi Aiko they had imagined.
"… Huo Shao, this person is either not Yamaguchi Aiko, or she's more powerful than we thought." Zhao Liangze enlarged the photo after the digital analysis and projected it on the big screen in the office. "Look, there's no trace of disguise on her face. It's either real, or her technology is more advanced than ours. As far as I know, the only country more advanced than us in this area is the United States. "
"This person is the focus of the interrogation." Yin Shixiong shook his head. "Unfortunately, they left our country."
Huo Shaoheng smiled. "That's exactly what I wanted."
Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong's minds raced. They immediately understood what Huo Shaoheng meant and laughed together.
"Haha, I understand!" Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze high-fived each other in the air and said with a smile, "If she was still in the country, what we could do would be too limited. But she left the Huaxia Empire. For us, it's like fish in the ocean and birds in the sky! "
The Special Operations Forces had unlimited ability to move outside the Huaxia Empire's borders and were not restricted by any laws.
This was because their battlefield had never been within the Huaxia Empire's borders.
Within the Huaxia Empire, their actions were severely restricted and could not overstep their boundaries. Therefore, their actions within the Huaxia Empire were often restricted and could not do as they pleased.
Only by placing the battlefield outside the Huaxia Empire's borders would they have countless methods to achieve their goals.
The next day, the Huaxia Empire's Consulate General in Japan that Zhao Liangze had contacted replied.
The results were shocking.
The Yamaguchi-gumi denied that Yamaguchi Youko or Yamaguchi Aiko was one of them and flatly denied that they had attempted to interfere with the Huaxia Empire's election.
"Huo Shao, is Yamaguchi-gumi's reply true or false?" Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong did not believe the Japanese Yamaguchi-gumi's reply, even though they had originally disagreed with Huo Shaoheng's request to send a formal letter to the Yamaguchi-gumi.
Huo Shaoheng sat at his desk and looked at the Yamaguchi-gumi's reply that the Consulate General in Japan had forwarded to him. He was silent for a long time.
"I'm going to see General Ji. Connect me to General Ji's phone." After a long time, Huo Shaoheng finally broke the silence. As he tidied up the documents on his desk, he said, "Get ready and be on standby."
